[Asterisk-Users] How do i make best use of Macro?

[critch at basesys.com]

Steven,

I tried the following:

[Conferences]
exten => 3333,1,MeetMeCount(3333|var)
exten => 3333,2,SayNumber(${var})
exten => 3333,3,Meetme(3333)

but I get the following error:

NOTICE[48152]: File pbx.c, Line 900 (pbx_substitute_variables_temp): Wrong
use of LEN(VARIABLE)

It still let's me join the conference but it says "zero" no matter how many
people are in the conference. 

What am I doing wrong?
